Necrology

1889

FRANK LEWIS BUGBEE died at Keene, N. H March 3, 1941.

He was born at Hartford, Vt., February 17, 1865, the son of Jonathan and Ellen A. (Lewis) Bugbee. He prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy, entered and graduated (A.8.) with our Class. He was a member of Psi Upsilon.

He taught in Newport, Vt., two years; in Denver, two years; in Ludlow, Vt., six years; in Bellows Falls, Vt., one year. Then came a year of study, 1900-01, at Harvard Graduate School, Department of Economics. For nine years, 1901-10, he was with the Black River Woolen Company in Ludlow, then taught again in Ludlow for five or six years, but returned to the woolen company and stayed until 1929, when he went to Keene, N. H., and took over the office management for a group of eight corporations, four of which were woolen mills in the vicinity of Keene. In this work he continued until the end.

In our class report of 1923 the Secretary wrote that, when in Ludlow, "I had a pleasant half hour with Bugbee at his office and his home. I also met some of his neighbors, one of whom referred to him as 'one of the wheel horses in all community work.' He impressed me as being the same dependable, efficient worker we knew in college days, only more mature—a typical Vermonter. Would thai there were more like him."

On December 23, 1911, Bugbee married Miss C. Blanche Haseltine at Somerville, Mass. Mrs. Bugbee survives, also a daughter and a son. Edmund J. Bugbee 'gi and Arthur C. Bugbee '95 are his brothers.

1918

Tragic is the loss to Dartmouth and to his many friends in 1918 of WILLIAM DEVEREUX BYRON, and the class and college wish to extend their deepest sympathies to his family. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Mr. Byron was a passenger on the airliner which crashed near Atlanta. He was planning to join Mrs. Byron, who was visiting friends in New Orleans, for a vacation in Mexico, where they were to be the guests of the United States Ambassador.

The son of Col. Joseph C. and Jane Wilson Byron, Bill was born in Danville, Virginia. He attended the public schools, Phillips Exeter Academy, Pratt Institute and Dartmouth before enlisting in the Aviation Corps when the United States entered the World War. He won a commission as a first lieutenant, and was serving as an instructor in flying at the time of the armistice.

After the war he engaged in the leather business in Williamsport, Maryland, and became chairman of the board of the Hagerstown Shoe & Legging Company, and vice president of the W. D. Byron & Sons' tanneries. He was also president of the Washington County National Bank in Hagerstown and vice president of the Hagerstown Herald-Mail publishing company.

In public life for fifteen years, his first office was that of Mayor of Wiiliamsport, to which he was elected in 1926, serving for four years. In 1930, he was elected to the Maryland State Senate, serving until 1934- In 1934 and 1935, he was a member of the Maryland Roads Commission. A Democrat, he was elected to the 76th Congress on November 8, 1938, and last November defeated Walter P. Johnson, former Washington baseball pitching ace, for a second term.

Flying was a hobby which became a major interest of Mr. Byron after World War Days. While in the Maryland State Senate he was chairman of the Aviation Committee; in Congress he was an active member of the Military Affairs Committee and took keen interest in the development of airports at Cumberland and Frederick, in his congressional district. The House Military Affairs Committee attended his funeral, and drafted a resolution in praise of his services to the committee. Mr. Byron also urged co-ordinated action to care for problems of housing, transportation and public facilities which he warned would arise from creation of a "greater Metropolitan area" through the speedup of the defense program. Another of his interests was a project for a $3,000,000 Savage River Dam to impound waters of the Potomac as a flood control measure and to permit expansion of industrial plants in Cumberland.

In recent years he won considerable popularity in Washington with his "five man" stringed band. A guitar and banjo player since school days, he was the leader for four of his sons: William D. Jr., 16; James, 13: Goodloe, 11; and David, 6. Mrs. Byron, the former Miss Katherine Edgar, served as the family band manager, and Mr. Byron expected to make it a sextet band as soon as his youngest son, Louis, 3, had mastered the strings. At the time of the accident, the sons were in Washington, where the family lived at 3117 Woodley Road.
